About Anthony
Anthony Grainger is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with over 13 years of experience. He works with common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger and trauma, and helps people who are struggling with loss, relationship issues or major life changes.
He offers a flexible, integrative approach. That means he draws on different evidence-based methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions can focus on managing symptoms or on looking deeper at patterns that keep problems repeating.
Anthony describes therapy as a joint process. He works with clients to set clear aims and then uses practical exercises and conversation to move towards those aims. He also offers messaging between sessions through the platform for brief check-ins or notes.
He emphasises professional standards as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he takes monthly supervision and ongoing professional development. That keeps the work current and accountable.
People come to him for a mix of day-to-day problems and longer-standing issues. Typical concerns include addictions, identity and LGBT matters, parenting stresses, career questions, grief, anger and compulsive patterns. Anthony speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on real-life change.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions based on personal values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety and life changes when someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing alternatives with practical exercises. It is commonly used for stress, depression and managing strong emotions like anger.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present reactions and closeness. It can help when anger or relationship problems link back to trust, abandonment or attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift from problem-managing techniques to deeper attachment or values-based work as needed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them specifically. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins through messaging between sessions, and reduce travel time. Practically, clients often find remote sessions help them keep continuity and maintain momentum while juggling everyday commitments.
